Chapter 2447 – Putting All Hidden Cards Into Play
The ten-thousand-foot-tall Buddhist tower shone with dazzling golden light, illuminating the nine heavens. Its majesty was terrifying to behold.
Su Yi’s eyes narrowed. This treasure is terrifying indeed. If I’m not mistaken, it’s a taboo treasure!
“This tower is called Maitreya, and it’s from the River of Destiny. It’s sealed, so it can’t even unleash a third of its true power,” said the Buddha of the Future. “But it’s more than enough to defeat you!”
Boom!
He raised his hand and tapped the air.
The Ten-Thousand-Foot treasure tower rumbled and boomed. A wave of golden Dao Light of the natural order swept forth, transformed into glittering golden clouds, and descended.
Golden flowers fell from the heavens, and Sanskrit chanting boomed like thunder, like Buddhas chanting sutras.
Everyone felt their heads buzz as terrifying power assailed their hearts and souls.
It was indistinct, but they felt as if paradise were being reflected before them, with countless Buddhas chanting and displaying their Buddhist magics. They seemed intent on redeeming all living beings!
Everyone, from Wen Qingfeng to the Demon Emperors, felt more helpless than ever before, like sinners receiving guidance. The voices urged them to set down their butchers’ knives and piously make amends for past misdeeds…
This was a shock to the heart, a suppression of the soul. It was utterly unbelievable.
Su Yi’s heart and soul felt it too. It just didn’t have much of an effect.
But the attack facing him wasn’t just an assault on the mind and soul. Its sheer force was terrifying, too.
Instinct told Su Yi that even if he fought with all his might, this blow was likely to be fatal!
There was no doubt about it. This was the Buddha of the Future’s killer weapon. He wanted to end things between them once and for all!
Su Yi could no longer keep anything in reserve. The time had come to reveal his hidden cards.
He waved his sleeve, and…
Boom!
Three dazzling, resplendent bundles of light whooshed into the air.
One was black as ink, one was bright red, and one was crystalline and translucent.
The three bundles emanated power of the soul, blood, and heart respectively. Their radiance interwove, illuminating everything on all sides.
Wen Qingfeng and the others were flabbergasted, to the point that they almost dared not believe it.
Because those three bundles of light were the Eternal Sources the three Demon Progenitors had left behind after they died!
Who could have imagined that Su Yi would toss these precious trophies at his opponent in a moment of life-or-death crisis?
But the Buddha of the Future instantly looked stricken!
He flashed through the air, seemingly startled, and hid himself in the Well of Turbulent Daos.
Boom!
Heaven and earth were thrown into upheaval.
The three Eternal Sources clashed with the golden power of the natural order within the Maitreya Tower, producing a heaven-shaking wave of destructive power.
The three powers shattered and collapsed at speeds visible to the naked eye. Shockingly, they didn’t dissipate. Instead, they transformed into a rain of light and slammed into the Maitreya Tower.
“Break” The Buddha of the Future’s voice emanated from within the Well of Turbulent Daos.
The Maitreya Tower erupted with immeasurable Buddhist light, blocking the three Eternal Source Powers.
Strangely, the shattered Eternal Source Powers managed to sleep past the endless light and into the tower with ease!
“Dammit——!”
The Buddha of the Future’s infuriated voice emanated from within the Well of Turbulent Daos. He sounded frantic.
Boom!
The Maitreya Tower rumbled and boomed, shaking continuously.
Moments later, beneath the crowd’s stunned gazes, the illusory figures of Huan Yan, Huang Qi, and Old Man Heart Demon appeared!
They were incomparably indistinct, but the onlookers nonetheless recognized them at a glance.
Wen Qingfeng and the others felt their scalps go numb. The three progenitors aren’t dead?
What would have happened if Su Yi had refined their Eternal Sources? Wouldn’t the three progenitors have invaded Su Yi’s body and seized control of his heart, soul, and body?
The thought made their hair stand on end. Chills coursed down their spines.
The Eternal Sources of the Three Demon Progenitors were absolutely the kind of good fortune most people could only dream of!
Never mind ordinary people, not even most Nine-Tribulation Master Gods could have resisted temptation like that.
Who could have imagined that they hid such a dire threat?
Kaboom!
The Maitreya Tower shook violently and transformed. It almost seemed as if the mysterious Buddhist tower might come to life at any moment.
The Buddha of the Future couldn’t concern himself with anything else. He used the Well of Turbulent Daos to suppressed the Maitreya Tower and seal it completely.
Practically simultaneously, Su Yi attacked.
He swung the rusted sword sheath through the sky, creating a strange black line that cleaved at the Well of Turbulent Daos.
Boom!
The Well of Turbulent Daos was sent flying backward, a new, startling gash on its surface.
Practically simultaneously, the Tribulation of the Five Witherings came crashing down, making the Well of Turbulent Daos rumble without end. It would soon be completely suppressed.
Su Yi was just about to attack again when the well erupted with chaos flames, breaking free of the suppression of the Tribulation of the Five Witherings. It shifted through the sky and vanished in a flash.
The Buddha of the Future’s bitter, infuriated roars rang out. “Su Yi, you ruined my plans. Another day, I’ll be sure to plunge you into an endless purgatory. I’ll leave you longing to die, yet unable to do so!”
His voice boomed far and wide.
Wen Qingfeng and the others exchanged glances. All of them looked on in disbelief. The Three Demon Progenitors’ Eternal Sources were really enough to force that mysterious existence back?
And it sounds like he suffered a massive loss, too. He’s clearly indignant about it!
Su Yi wasn’t the least bit concerned about this.
Off in the distance, Demon Emperor Chi Nie and the others looked on in a daze. They found this difficult to accept. We obviously had the advantage. How did the situation turn on its head in the blink of an eye?
“We ought to clean them up too.” Su Yi turned to look at the Demon Emperors.
Wen Qingfeng and the others seethed with murderous intent.
Kaboom!
Su Yi shifted through the air, leading the others into battle.
As they moved, the Tribulation of the Five Witherings moved with them, following them like a shadow. It rained blood-red tribulation light, seemingly intent on eradicating Su Yi.
But it naturally presented no threat to Su Yi and his companions. It was the Demon Emperors who freaked out and fled without hesitation.
“Kill them all!” Su Yi gave chase, the Tribulation of the Five Witherings following him every step of the way. Blood-red tribulation light scattered, destroying countless mountains and rivers.
The Demon Emperors were fast, but the Tribulation of the Five Witherings was even faster.
Wherever Su Yi appeared, blood-red tribulation clouds filled the surrounding ninety thousand miles of sky!
No matter how fast the Demon Emperors went, they couldn’t outrun it.
Kaboom!
Moments later, blood-red tribulation light fell, slaughtering a group of Outsider Celestial Demons on the spot and destroying them in both body and soul.
Beneath the tribulation, Demon Emperors were no different from grass. They couldn’t even struggle in the face of death.
When Wen Qingfeng and the others saw this from afar, they were unwittingly stunned. Their hearts shook.
If Su Yi weren’t here to protect them, they’d have had no hope of surviving this tribulation!
Perhaps this is what it meant to have “heaven and earth on your side!”
Su Yi had invited this tribulation, so he should have been its target. However, with the Epoch Spark to protect him, Su Yi had nothing to fear, and he could easily divert its power onto his enemies.
Without any further delays, Su Yi and company resumed the chase.
They’d spent the past two months slaughtering lesser Outsider Celestial Demons, but that wasn’t enough to really vent their pent-up hatred and fury.
Now, they could finally suppress and kill the Demon Emperors. How could they possibly have passed up on this opportunity?
About ten minutes later, around ten more Demon Emperors died brutal deaths beneath the Tribulation of the Five Witherings. Their last desperate shrieks still echoed through the air.
“Split up and run. Hurry!” Demon Emperor Chi Nie’s hysterical roars emanated from afar.
Wherever Su Yi went, the Tribulation of the Five Witherings followed.
So long as they split up, Su Yi wouldn’t be able to chase them all! They naturally understood that, too, and they soon scattered without hesitation.
Su Yi didn’t even pause to think before shooting after Chi Nie.
Demon Emperors died at semi-regular intervals along the way, like paltry little blades of grass swept into a windstorm, their souls scattered.
Even when they changed directions and split up, the Tribulation of the Five Witherings covered such a large area that it still presented an enormous threat.
But as time passed, more and more of the Demon Emperors successfully escaped.
Su Yi disregarded this. He was completely fixated on his target, Chi Nie
Finally, about an hour later, Demon Emperor Chi Nie failed to escape the tribulation. Blood-red tribulation light swept over him, tearing him to bits.
In the last moments before his death, he looked at Su Yi, hatred, despair, and bitterness written all over his face.
It seemed he’d never anticipated that Su Yi would chase him to the bitter end like this, and he knew no peace even in death.
Only then did Su Yi end this grand chase, leading his friends away from the area affected by the tribulation. They found a place to rest in a nearby mountain range.
“Let’s take a break,” said Su Yi, sitting cross-legged on the ground. He took Undying Source Power out and started refining it.
He’d been injured in the earlier battle. His wounds weren’t severe, but they weren’t trivial, either. Furthermore, using the Sword of the Nine Hells and the Epoch Spark for so long had left his cultivation base on the brink of running dry.
“Brother Fuyou, we slew forty-nine Demon Emperors in total!” Wen Qingfeng said excitedly. “In other words, more than half of the Outsider Celestial Demon Emperors have perished!”
The others were excited, too. When they replayed the perils and close calls of their battle, they couldn’t help but feel a bit dazed.
According to their original plans, they should have been able to trap their enemies, then pick them off one by one, like turtles in a jar.
But unexpected variables had arisen. The Well of Turbulent Daos had appeared, and practically every last surviving Demon Emperor had left their lair and joined the battle.
The Buddha of the Future in particular was mighty enough to make even Nine-Tribulation Master Gods give in to despair!
But in the end, Su Yi neutralized the dangers and launched a successful counterattack!
When they calmed their heads and replayed the battle in detail, all of them were astonished and rueful.
“Brother Fuyou, these are the spoils we gathered along the way.” Someone walked over and offered all of the source energies the Demon Emperors had left behind.
But Su Yi barely glanced at them before saying, “Over the past eight years, practically everyone in Dao-Seeking City was killed by the Outsider Celestial Demons. Compared to that grudge, our meager victories… are far from sufficient.”
It was just one sentence, but everyone instantly fell silent. The delight and excitement on their faces faded considerably.
“Seize this opportunity to tend to your wounds,” said Su yi. “Over the next few ways, we have to continue seeking revenge. We absolutely cannot let up until we’ve ripped the Outsider Celestial Demons up by the roots!”
“Good!” Everyone shouted their agreement.
Meanwhile, deep within mountains shrouded in mist, the Buddha of the Future took out another bodhi leaf.
